Absolute Proof LAAS discriminates Against Cats

.
The numbers below are for total intake, Oct 1, 2005 to Oct. 1, 2006 (healthy, injured, sick, unweaned) cats and dogs and their disposition. The charts I posted before were for hold times and the disposition of healthy animals.

I was in error when I stated before these were the numbers of animals from October 1, 2005 to October 1, 2006. In fact, these are the numbers just for the first nine months of 2006, January 1, 2006 to October 6, 2006.

DOGS:

DOGS 2006 YTD (October 06)

21705 Intake

15809 Healthy at Impound
....1856 NewHope 12%
....6895 Adopt 44%
....3246 Euthanized 21%
....2982 Redeemed 19%

1728 Injured
....1039 Euthanized 60%

1973 Sick
....1228 Euthanized 62%

316 Unweaned
....97 Euth 31%


CATS:

CATS 2006 YTD (October 6, 2006)

19399 Intake

9662 Healthy at Impound

....717 NewHope 7%
....4009 Adopt 41%
....4180 Euth 43%
....194 Redeemed 2%

862 Injured Intake
....714 Euthandasia 83%

1966 Sick Intake
....1701 Euthanasia 87%

4840 Unweaned
....3749 Euthanasia 77%

Further skewing the statistics, you can see 73% of the dogs were considered healthy, but only 50% of the cats were considered healthy. It seems highly unusual that far higher percentage of cats were considered sick than dogs. Far more.

In addition, only 60% and 62% of injured and sick dogs were euthanized, while 83% and 87% of the cats were euthanized.

This utterly proves that cats were discriminated against compared to dogs.
